Lucy?" I raise my head in alarm. "Lucy!" I turn to the familiar voice. "There you are!" I feel warm arms engulf me, pulling me, soothing me.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFTa4dcf8k
"Ray…" I choke out. Ray releases me and looks at my tear-stained face. He takes my hand and slips the blade from between my fingers, his eyes never leaving mine.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3N1tSnrJsk
"Lucy," his voice is broken. "Please tell me you didn't."970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykW5Zp1D0G
"I-I didn't." I take a deep, shaky breath. "But I almost did." He turns his head and shuts his eyes.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqa4WalGQ3
"Promise me something, Lucy." He looks back at me. "Promise me that you'll never cut again, OK?" I nod. "If you ever fall back to this place again, call me over. I'll help you, Lucy." He grabs my hands. "Promise me."970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMT5fPRV7l
"I promise, Ray." I whisper, tears leaking out of my eyes. He pulls me into a tight hug, breathing out a sigh of relief. He kisses the top of my head and then moves back…970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNn9pEjFzdK

I open my eyes and stare at my wall, but it's not there.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjIDOYUtxe
My blanket is hanging off my bed, my clothes are strewn across the floor, my hair is sticking to my wet cheeks and the window is shut, enclosing me in darkness.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1K2UzluQa
I feel nothing but pain and agony. A dark cloud is filling my head, making me seem heavy.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzvQrrDsmh
Fake.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciO7DV91is
Not myself.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0K43MXJ63l
The silver blade is shining, piercing the darkness with an evil light. It taunts me, challenges me, dares me to touch it, to pick it up and to use it.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDL8RrDmpKg
Oh, Ray. Where are you?!970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbe0HtzDsv
"I'm going somewhere with my parents and we won't be back until Friday. Call me if you need anything, OK?"970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2qrGlWPbV
Help me, Ray! Help me!970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqeiKbaM5I
I punch in his number and put the phone to my ear.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PHKZoPzvr
Voice mail.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajq8AdnBwe
I try again.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH82ECgAS6u
No answer.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecFnQMD9Ma
I frantically pull at my hair, curling into a ball. I shut my eyes but a few lone tears escape. I shake my head, trying to pull myself out of my despair and trying, somehow, to pull myself together. I'm falling apart, breaking down.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWWv2tSQyD
I can't. I must stay strong.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPwD7QUPy5
My tears come faster.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuFPQFbpoI
Keep it together, Lucy. Keep it together.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCJqklFPjT
"Ahh!" I scream, pushing myself back. I lose my balance and fall off my bed, crashing to the floor. I cover my face with my hands, shaking, sobbing.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwVrSjyxx6
"Ray!" I cry out. Please…970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLpDzuZkaO
My hands fall to my sides, my hair a knotted mess. I stare silently at the ceiling.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RKXQK9p3f
Is it really that high?970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmun8hYW09
I curl up on my side, staring into the black nothingness under my bed.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIS7gzAJn1o
I must move… I need to move.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyex91pT1h
I eye the door.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUotp0Af6N
I will myself to sit up.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwf32kSMA2p
My room turns upside down and goes blurry, my vision faltering. I still and wait for the dizziness to pass.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEjpAuIL1Q
I blink once – twice- and then sit on my knees.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0DuWXUWXd
I focus on the door.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3ajkuapVw
I crawl forward.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0lifT0sB8
I need to get there.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qlnd3Kfu8
I slowly try to stand up. I advance, pushing one leg forward and then the other, and repeat.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfDXbYWbsM
My legs are wobbly, broken.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFU9Q5QZeS5
Just a few more feet…970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfR3RvZHLc
I reach out my hand and take another step-970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cbo5LnZwW
and collapse to the ground.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBupqETVkI
"No…" I try to stand again, but I can't get up.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJaj9lx1cI
I grab at my bed sheet, trying to pull myself up. I feel around, grabbing at anything I possibly can. I grasp closer to my blanket and freeze as I touch something cold. Sharp.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXH790cft2
I suck in a breath.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlbGch2fqj
A chill of excitement and fear shoots up my arm, down my spine and spreads through my body.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8v8TYiom8
I bring the blade closer to me, another thrill flowing inside me.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgJ5b5icUu
Just once.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmz1mYoz2d
"Promise me."970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdgaYYW9d0
"I promise, Ray."970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPZof7cdTJ
No, I can't. I promised him.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCTt1aFw7l
But it'll feel so good…970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCzaa1uVQ1
I study the blade, turning it around in my hands.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXNbLtIV89
It'll be quick. Just one cut.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciNndqAabj
It'll heal quickly, faster than normally.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoeQuM2HCz
Now's your chance, Ray… I look at the door, waiting for him to walk through and stop me.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgHDqNpRs6
Anytime, now…970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLpBZI6t2F
My vision blurs. I feel drops on my skin.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdHeXxpZ2G
Is it raining?970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhEDMUQBBt
No, that’s impossible.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxf9PQN4Az
I can't see.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJF3l786mI
I try to take breath but I choke up, a heavy weight sitting on my chest. A rock is stuck in my throat.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeejxq3x4W
I can't breathe.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxa3QyJ60Cx
I thrash around, clawing at my throat. I make a gurgling sound, trying to swallow.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrblZZhFx98
What's poking my leg…?970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOajASiC3n
I look down, choking on air, and spot the blade.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUkb27RVJw
How did it get there?970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcCpGFXt0F
I take it and hold it closely to myself.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6K0h2gn9zh
How can something so evil look so beautiful?970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbP6wHVyLO
I bring it down to my wrist and shiver.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRMilViwUC
So cold.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFphbIzA5oN
I press down and drive it across my skin.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPYGoOWt7o
I let out a shaky breath that I didn't know I was holding. My blood drips warm and red down my arm.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOo14npYN4V
I take another breath.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiynCZzxPLy
Another.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQWZFz4SEU
My breathing comes harder, faster.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sjxvLF1zK
I slide the blade and cut again, slicing more of my skin. I gasp, my arm stinging. A groan escapes my lips as the pain takes its place, the sick pleasure mixing in.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VgBBZOkbL
I lean back, resting my head against my bed.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbS0j0YYevL
I shut my eyes tightly.970Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfrzNQKYC6
I should not have done that.8964 copyright protection966ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRIPuzNS6H 維尼
